Lovebug
I have heard of Lovebird before and this time I found out about Lovebug. I took photos of this little bug in the leaf of the frangipani flower that I have in my yard. Lucky he is stays still, so I could take a few photos of it. But not much since I had to go out at that time.
Lovebug or Plecia nearctica is native to Central America or in the southern part of the US, but has been around the world I think because I have seen them around my area since I was a kid.
Its body is mostly covered in black color, and only the thorax has a kind of orange color. Making it easy to distinguish from another bug. And the most important is the way they mate, they will stay together for several days after the mating. according to wikipedia
They will face different directions while their ends part connects each other during mating time, and will stay that way for some time.
I wanted to follow up on one of the topics related to photography. I was really attracted by your article and the photos taken. You have all the evaluation from my side because you were able to do good photography of it in various situations.
oh thank you very much for your kind word. This is really a very nice way to get close and learn more about nature.

A very interesting bug, and also some very good photos to show us its characteristics...
Are they made with extension tubes on your 18-135mm lens?
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much. I am happy that you like it.
No, this one is on a fix 50mm lens. But I think I use a lot of extension tube to be able to get this shot. 3 pcs extension tube from Meike.
Last time I try the 18-135mm my internal flash is not enough to light on the subject, it was appear really dark.

... staying together for several days afer mating... I guess that's where the name lovebug comes from. 😊
Yes I guess so. And the way they mate is also interesting. Hope I can find one mating next time. !PIZZA
